1. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of this Prosine Sine Wave Inverter. As a high quality, true sine wave output inverter, you can expect exceptional performance and years of dependable operation. The true sine wave AC output from the inverter ensures all AC loads operating from the unit perform efficiently and correctly. Since these loads were designed to operate from true sine wave voltage, you can expect these loads to operate the same as if operating from grid/utility supplied power. In some cases, the true sine wave output from the Xantrex inverter is even superior to the power supplied by your utility company.

To get the most out of your Prosine Inverter, carefully read and follow the instructions in this guide. Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions and to the CAUTION and WARNING statements found throughout the manual and on the product. Please retain all packaging.

Should you have any questions before, during, or after installation, please contact Xantrex.

The Prosine Inverter utilizes advanced high frequency switching technology in the power conversion process. The circuits are similar to those used in power supplies for computers and other electronic equipment. This technology offers several benefits:

Light weight: for easy installation

Totally silent: for quiet operation

High surge capability: for “hard-to-start” AC loads See Section 10 (Specifications) for complete product specifications.

1.1.1 Inverter Function

When connected properly and the power switch is turned to the (I) position, the inverter draws power from a battery and delivers a true sine wave AC output voltage. If the battery voltage is within the operating range of the unit, the inverter will continue to deliver AC power to the loads connected. High and low battery shutdowns will engage if the battery voltage falls out of the specified range of operation (10–16 VDC on 12 V models, 20–32 VDC on 24 V models).

1.1.2 Control Panel

The Control Panel displays operating information so you can monitor the status of the Inverter and your batteries.

This panel can be removed and re-attached in different orientations so the information is directed at you in the most convenient fashion, for all recommended mounting

WARNING

Note that in (#) (Bypass) position the front panel switch does NOT turn off all voltages inside the unit. This control only deactivates the AC conversion circuitry. On AC hardwire/transfer re- lay versions any utility voltage present on the AC input terminals will be present on the AC output terminals.

configurations. With the optional Interface Panel, the display can be fully removed from the base chassis and remotely located in the place of your choice (e.g. on the dash of your vehicle).

1.1.3 Automatic Transfer Switch

Your Prosine Inverter may be equipped with a transfer relay if specified prior to purchase. The transfer relay serves two purposes: 1) allows the AC output of the inverter to be wired into an existing AC system as a source of power and 2) allows the Prosine Inverter to automatically become the source of power should your utility source fail.

When utility AC power fails, the transfer relay is de- energized and the load is automatically transferred to the inverter output within 20–30 milliseconds. With the POWERSAVE feature enabled (recommended for reducing standby power consumption), AC output from the inverter may be delayed for up to 2½ seconds. Once AC utility is restored, the relay energizes and the load is automatically reconnected to AC utility.

Identifying Models With Transfer Switches

1) Check the UPC code on the product box. Units with transfer switches have UPC codes that end with these five digits:

Model 1000/1000i

Model 1800/1800i

61084

61884

 

 

61074

61874

 

 

61052

61852

61008

61808

 

 

61002

61802

2) If there is an AC outlet on the front of the unit, it is not equipped with an internal transfer switch.

3) For Prosine Inverters with hardwire connections, you can identify whether your unit has an internal transfer switch by removing the cover on the AC wiring compartment and checking the label above the terminal block inside.

If your unit has a label similar to one of these two labels, it has an internal transfer switch:

Units with this label do not have an internal transfer switch:
